Long Time No Sew!!

I have not touched my sewing machine since my last post!! Ugh! The entire summer has gone by without anything to show for it. Life Happens! I had to take on a second job at the end of March which cut my available time down considerably, and recently due to the foundation of our house sinking, and other timely incidentals, we have now relocated to my mother's home, with the majority of our belongings stowed away in storage. Regardless of the fact that there is ABSOLUTELY no room for fabric, tools, and sewing machine, I ignored my husband's protesting and brought them. Well, as much of them as I could without looking insane. A great deal of fabric is storage - this pains me - but I managed to smuggle two totes worth of scraps and fat quarters covering the spectrum of all colors one could possibly think they might need to have a smidgen of on hand! :) So, I've been driving around with the said smuggled items in the back of my car for 4 weeks now - did I mention I was trying to not look insane? With the only space available to work in/on being the kitchen table - I can see this going to be difficult, but I intend to perservere. So I took my fabrics & tools out yesterday -- knowing I had an hour on hand that no one would be around, and I wouldn't be in their way or visa-versa -- and I cut out fabric needed for my September BOM for guild (meeting tonight).

Then today, same time, I was able to sew my block together!

At least I have a little relief. Sewing for me is like therapy and I've been missing it sooooo much! And having the night off so I can attend a guild meeting?? That like a 2 for 1 kind'a day! :)
